RF Directional Couplers Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as documentation indicates non-compliance for this specific variant. Confirm that the ordering suffix corresponds to the correct coupling coefficient and insertion loss values. Ensure compatibility with standard 0805 footprint PCB layouts. Check for any specific handling requirements related to thin film technology during assembly.

RF Directional Couplers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10dB coupling ratio is required for 2.4GHz applications. Consider the 0.9dB insertion loss impact on system gain. Evaluate the 3W power rating against peak signal levels. Compare against other CP0805 series variants if different coupling factors or frequency ranges are needed.
